at-an ll93Z-BUCKIEYIE A'I'll help you Hnd the few remaining ones, said Loretta Panning. Of course you've heard that Zaida Bressler is living happily in Delta, Ohio, and Helene Speiser is still in Na- poeon, but now she has to get up every morning at 4:00 a. m. to start her husband off on his milk route. I started off with Ruth, as I wanted to get to Skeetsbergh that very evening. As we started hurriedly across the street we were almost knocked oveg by a police car which, carrie scream- ing around the corner. It stopped, and iust as a great flow of words almost froze us in our tracks, we sax! that the chief was none other than Jim Gregg. When we told him of our hurry to catch the train, he invited us to ride with him, and were whizzed away to the station. As we entered it, we saw Gam Frysinger and Ep Durham pushing their way thxough a large crowd, which seemed to have great fun showering them with rice and old shoes climbed into a taxi and sped away, We arived safely at Skeetsbergh and rushed to the newspaper office. I-Iere's the young lady herself , I said to Margaret Sherman, as I proudly forward, and here's the news of our class. XVill you please tell Fritz I would my 3l,000. I tried to look unconcerned as I received the check. but failed miserably as the dinner I would now treat myself to, and of the vacation I would take after running up and down I had done ni the last few days! T T Senior Class Activities as they pushed Ruth flike to have I thought of all this wild Several years ago, 1928 to be exact, when the present Senior Class had just graduated from Junior High Cand into high heels and long pantsj we wondered what IT was all about. Now we know, but what price knowl- edge! It covers a lot of territory. For instance, It includes the educating of the dear little ducklings of the Freshmen class, the receding of Sophomore r1oses from high altitudes, that gradual growing up feeling of the Junior year and Hnally the dignity of the Senior year, We may point with pride to the records we have made in all the phases of scholastic and extra-curricular activities. In the band and orchestra several Seniors have been lauded on their superior talents: in Triangular we have con- tributed some very outstanding competitors: in club work we have gained rec- ognition for our services: in scholastic records we have not lagged behind: a certain Senior has hitched his wagon to a star in the athletic field and has won letters in nearly every sport. These and many others are our accomplishments. We ask nothing but to be remembered for the progress we made and the in- Huence we had upon under-classmen. We shall continue to serve not as a class but individually, each working upon the foundation which he built during his high school career.

Wfioaz . Buckeye And would you believe it, he wasf Tearing open the yellow envelope, l read: Am at Hotel Panning stop See me at once stop Have news of Ruth. Signed, Maude Dorothy Hahn. Just my luck to have to leave a good showi All the busses were going to the circus instead of downtown, but I was lucky enough to get a lift witn Delbert I-lerge. As we rode down- town, Delbert talked of this and that, while 1 kept my eyes open for familiar faces. Some of the names on the shops drew my attention: and as I saw the sign A'Eruth, Fruth and Eruthn on the window of a music shop, I looked in and saw Ray Bennett singing gustily, accompanied by Marguerite Lombardi, who was vigorously playing the piano. Behind the counters the clerks were selling the latest song hits-and then I noticed that the clerks were Mable, Marjorie and Robert Iiruth. the owners of the shop. As we proceeded on our way, we passed a large apartment just in time to see Whitey Wagner rush down the steps and slide around the corner as dishes, pillows, and pictures flew past where his head had just been. Well-theres only one answer to that. I see Whitey and Mary Jane are still at it-after all these years! I At the hotel door, pompously arrayed as a porter, stood Richard Spitler. He eyed me suspiciously and allowed me to pass only after I had proven my good intentions to the owners of Hotel Panning-Dorothy and Alvin. Josephine Liddle, the clerk at the desk, told me the number of Maude Dorothy's room. and Mildred Chrobarger, the elevator girl, whizzed me up to the proper floor. Gee , exclaimed Maude Dorothy. Why didn't you come sooner? Ruth just left for Sampson's Corners. She was wearing a red dress, and green hat with a purple feather, if that will help you any to identify her. Me for Sampson's Cornersuf was all I said, and I dashed for the street. Boarding a street car, I had another furious ride to the station. Why were Napoleon graduates such terrible drivers? Martin Becker the motorman, who had lost his job of operating a speedway, aimed to give his passengers a thrill, and he surely succeeded! Y I Train West for Sampson's Corners , cried the conductor, as I leaped on the moving train. It seemed I no sooner got nicely settled than it was time to get off again. On the plat- form I collided with Delmar Samlow, the chief-of-police of Sampson's Corners. I-Iellow, Chief, I said. I'm looking for Ruth Heistand. Where do you suppose I'd be likely to find her? I'll tell you, he replied, There's a big doin's down at the Happy Hours this even- in', and I'll bet Ruth will be there. Wayne Light is being initiated as Grand Master. The Goofy Goofs, and the whole town will turn out. X I hurried to the Happy Hours but saw the No Loafing In Booths signs, and decided she coudn't be in one of these, but I couldn't safely say that she was not somewhere in this great crowd. I would wait! I was soon invited to have lunch with Martha Precht, Evelyn Miller and Leona Eunchion. I marveled that all was prepared by Dewey Bassett, the famous chef, and his assistants. Elsie Baden and Viola Beck. While sitting there, I noticed that after all the worries they had caused each other's old A'flames in school, Marjorie Reichert and Pete Schultz had decided to spend the rest of their lives together in wedded bliss. Something unusual-they were still laughing happily at everything after four years of constanlty being together. I stayed for the program, and was well paid for it, The most interesting things to me were a violin solo played by Vera Franz and a talk by Eleanor Baker on Supporting the New Members , this in honor of Wayne Light, the new Grand Master, for home town men are really better in the long run. She claimed she was speaking from experience after many years of interest thrown away in Dehance. We talked of old times and I found out that Lois Niebel had given up school teaching to marry an old classmate of ours, who had left us in our Junior year. What lasting love! l After all the denials of romance in school, Kathryn Schuldt and Eryl Sickmiler had also decided to give the people peace of mind, and had set the date of their wedding to be June 25th. We had been so interested in our talk. that Bessie Wigfield, a waitress. had to tell us that our table must be moved to the edge of the floor. as they were also having a dance. As we moved back, Lou Nelson joined us to wait until A'Oats got back, after having to rush Mildred Gisler to the hospital in his ambulance when she fainted in the crowd. Guess I should have been thankful for his services when I saw his placard in the cab. instead of worry- ing and wondering if I would be his next victim! And now the initiation ceremony. Ann Brown explained the aim of the organization. and a solemn hush descended on the company. At the most critical moment in Ann's speech. the lights in the place went off. Presently Madlyne Rhody pushed them on again, and we saw Dolly Kagay and Edith Roddy--and with them. no one else but the object of my search- Ruth I-Ieistand-all ready to be initiated into the club. In my excitement I called out, Why Ruth, where on earth have you been? And I should have rushed up to her, spoiling all the ceremony, if Doris Rhody and Margaret Hoffman had not held me back. I refused to be quiet until they promised to keep an eye on her. When the initiation was all over, I made my way to Ruth. A'What did you disappear for?', I asked. That was only one of my initiation stunts . said Ruth, I had to. you know before I could join this club. I saw by my little black notebook that I had accounted for nearly all of my classmates.
